Finally, the video editing is over for a while!!
Here is a slideshow covering the last leg of our trip. Unfortunately, Mike hurt his shoulder on this leg. It was early on, I think morning of day #2? He went down hard. Early signs were not good. He couldn't lift his arm without lots of pain, his ribs hurt and he wasn't too happy. But, with a bit of help from "Doctor" Bob, he was back on watch after only missing one term. (Note: Mike ended up requiring Rotator Cuff Surgery after returning home.)
Other than Mike's injury, the last leg was flawless and we roared into Cascais, Portugal on a broad reach in 20+ knots of wind on a warm sunny day!!
The perfect finish to a nearly perfect trip across the Atlantic Ocean!!
Morpheus - ATlantic Crossing - Azores to Portugal from Jim Gregory on Vimeo.
Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.
